TRANSCRIPT
Up until now businesses have had to sort all their rubbish for recycling but many didn't have the time, which is why much of it ended up in landfill. However, help is now at hand!
In Exeter, there is a place called Envirohub, which is the base for Devon ContractWaste. This company has started a 'Zero to Landfill' campaign because they would like to see everything recycled so landfill wouldn't be needed anymore. To help with this, they have spent over four million pounds on a fantastic new waste sorting machine which means businesses won't have to sort their rubbish anymore.
This machine is huge: it's over ten metres high, covers the same area as one football pitches and it can sort up to 300 tonnes of rubbish per day -- that's the same weight as thirty seven and a half full size elephants.
So how does it work? Let's go and see it in action!
Rubbish arrives at Envirohub from all around the county in dustcarts, front-loaders and wheelie bins, where it is all emptied out on the floor. Then it is lifted by this mechanical grabber and dumped into the hopper where it is shredded down into smaller pieces.
From the shredder, the rubbish goes up this belt to a big drum called a trommel screen. This tumbles the rubbish to remove all the soil and dust which gets turned into a fuel called Refuse-Derived Fuel product -- or RDF for short. Nothing gets wasted here!Everything else continues on to here. This is called a ballistic separator and it walks everything upwards, but only the flat material makes it to the top. The three dimensional items can't manage the climb and fall back onto another line below.
The flat stuff now falls onto a belt which goes under the first optical sorter. This is a line of small cameras that can recognise the different types of rubbish. This one is set to 'see' soft plastic film and when it sees some approaching, it triggers a jet of air which hits the item as it crosses the end of the belt, blowing it on to another belt behind. It's very fast but watch closely and you'll see the plastic flying off. That's amazing!
This rubbish left on the belt drops down to another below. It then passes the second optical sorter, which is set to 'see' all paper and card products. It's very important that nothing else gets through so just to make doubly sure there are two people inspecting it.
Remember the 3D stuff that didn't make it to the top of the line earlier? Let's go and see what happened to it. Here it is, going past a very powerful magnet which attracts all ferrous metal -- that's metals like iron and steel which are magnetic. Everything else won't be attracted by the magnet so goes on to this eddy current machine which removes all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium -- things like drink cans. All the metals are collected in the skips below.
The non-metallic material left on the belt then goes twice past another optical sorter. The first time it puts all plastic on one side and the second time it puts all paper and card on the other. Anything left over will also go into the fuel product or RDF we mentioned before.
Under the machine are all these bays where the different materials end up. The contents are eventually baled and wrapped like this ready to be transported.
What an amazing machine!
So where does it all go? The metal will be sent to be melted down so it can be made into other metal products. Paper will be recycled into tissue such as toilet roll and hand towels. Plastics are recycled into new products; some obvious ones such as carrier bags and bin liners, but also fleeces, umbrellas, children's toys and even car bumpers. Card is generally shipped to China for recycling. This goes on ships that have delivered products from China into the UK, and need to return anyway, so it is reasonably environmentally friendly.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. "It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea," says resident, Hatsue Katayama. "If you get used to it, it becomes normal."
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and WinBrewery. The brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

Food waste is a major problem for any organisation that produces it. It's notoriously difficult to process and dispose of safely and efficiently and is the most likely waste stream to contaminate other waste fractions.
Most waste streams are relatively easy to recycle. Glass, plastic, aluminium and even metals can be recycled into useful by-products. But not so food waste.
By utilising IMC's WasteStation food waste processor, many of these problems are removed or reduced leading to large savings in many areas.
Food waste typically represents around 40% of total commercial catering waste. Of this 40%, approximately 77% is liquid.
WasteStation grinds the food waste into fine particles, these particles feed directly into the built-in dewatering system.
Through centrifugal action, the WasteStation forces out the excess liquid from the macerated waste.
This "grey water" is fed directly to drain, the resulting solid fraction of the food waste is collected in small, easily managed, lidded bins, ready for onward processing.

Landfills are no longer a viable option for construction and demolition (C & D) wastes, which account for more than a third of the waste stream generated in Massachusetts. USGBC's LEED certification program, which many clients, architects and municipalities require, awards up to three points for waste recycling efforts. Recycling is now the mandated and preferred solutions to C & D debris disposal. Waste Solutions Inc of Marshfield, MA is the New England leader in C & D debris disposal.

Recycling

Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal and lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to plastic production. Recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle" waste hierarchy.

There are some ISO standards related to recycling such as ISO 15270:2008 for plastics waste and ISO 14001:2004 for environmental management control of recycling practice.

Recyclable materials include many kinds of glass, paper, metal, plastic, tires, textiles and electronics. The composting or other reuse of biodegradable waste—such as food or garden waste—is also considered recycling. Materials to be recycled are either brought to a collection centre or picked up from the curbside, then sorted, cleaned and reprocessed into new materials destined for manufacturing.

Waste management

Waste management is all those activities and action required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal.
This includes amongst other things, collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste together with monitoring and regulation. It also encompasses the legal and regulatory framework that relates to waste management encompassing guidance on recycling etc.

The term usually relates to all kinds of waste, whether generated during the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials into intermediate and final products, the consumption of final products, or other human activities, including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and special (health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge). Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on health, the environment or aesthetics.

This machine is huge: it's over ten metres high, covers the same area as one football pitches and it can sort up to 300 tonnes of rubbish per day -- that's the same weight as thirty seven and a half full size elephants.
So how does it work? Let's go and see it in action!
Rubbish arrives at Envirohub from all around the county in dustcarts, front-loaders and wheelie bins, where it is all emptied out on the floor. Then it is lifted by this mechanical grabber and dumped into the hopper where it is shredded down into smaller pieces.
From the shredder, the rubbish goes up this belt to a big drum called a trommel screen. This tumbles the rubbish to remove all the soil and dust which gets turned into a fuel called Refuse-Derived Fuel product -- or RDF for short. Nothing gets wasted here!Everything else continues on to here. This is called a ballistic separator and it walks everything upwards, but only the flat material makes it to the top. The three dimensional items can't manage the climb and fall back onto another line below.
The flat stuff now falls onto a belt which goes under the first optical sorter. This is a line of small cameras that can recognise the different types of rubbish. This one is set to 'see' soft plastic film and when it sees some approaching, it triggers a jet of air which hits the item as it crosses the end of the belt, blowing it on to another belt behind. It's very fast but watch closely and you'll see the plastic flying off. That's amazing!
This rubbish left on the belt drops down to another below. It then passes the second optical sorter, which is set to 'see' all paper and card products. It's very important that nothing else gets through so just to make doubly sure there are two people inspecting it.
Remember the 3D stuff that didn't make it to the top of the line earlier? Let's go and see what happened to it. Here it is, going past a very powerful magnet which attracts all ferrous metal -- that's metals like iron and steel which are magnetic. Everything else won't be attracted by the magnet so goes on to this eddy current machine which removes all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium -- things like drink cans. All the metals are collected in the skips below.
The non-metallic material left on the belt then goes twice past another optical sorter. The first time it puts all plastic on one side and the second time it puts all paper and card on the other. Anything left over will also go into the fuel product or RDF we mentioned before.
Under the machine are all these bays where the different materials end up. The contents are eventually baled and wrapped like this ready to be transported.
What an amazing machine!
So where does it all go? The metal will be sent to be melted down so it can be made into other metal products. Paper will be recycled into tissue such as toilet roll and hand towels. Plastics are recycled into new products; some obvious ones such as carrier bags and bin liners, but also fleeces, umbrellas, children's toys and even car bumpers. Card is generally shipped to China for recycling. This goes on ships that have delivered products from China into the UK, and need to return anyway, so it is reasonably environmentally friendly.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. "It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea," says resident, Hatsue Katayama. "If you get used to it, it becomes normal."
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and WinBrewery. The brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

Food waste is a major problem for any organisation that produces it. It's notoriously difficult to process and dispose of safely and efficiently and is the most likely waste stream to contaminate other waste fractions.
Most waste streams are relatively easy to recycle. Glass, plastic, aluminium and even metals can be recycled into useful by-products. But not so food waste.
By utilising IMC's WasteStation food waste processor, many of these problems are removed or reduced leading to large savings in many areas.
Food waste typically represents around 40% of total commercial catering waste. Of this 40%, approximately 77% is liquid.
WasteStation grinds the food waste into fine particles, these particles feed directly into the built-in dewatering system.
Through centrifugal action, the WasteStation forces out the excess liquid from the macerated waste.
This "grey water" is fed directly to drain, the resulting solid fraction of the food waste is collected in small, easily managed, lidded bins, ready for onward processing.

Up until now businesses have had to sort all their rubbish for recycling but many didn't have the time, which is why much of it ended up in landfill. However, help is now at hand!
In Exeter, there is a place called Envirohub, which is the base for Devon ContractWaste. This company has started a 'Zero to Landfill' campaign because they would like to see everything recycled so landfill wouldn't be needed anymore. To help with this, they have spent over four million pounds on a fantastic new waste sorting machine which means businesses won't have to sort their rubbish anymore.
This machine is huge: it's over ten metres high, covers the same area as one football pitches and it can sort up to 300 tonnes of rubbish per day -- that's the same weight as thirty seven and a half full size elephants.
So how does it work? Let's go and see it in action!
Rubbish arrives at Envirohub from all around the county in dustcarts, front-loaders and wheelie bins, where it is all emptied out on the floor. Then it is lifted by this mechanical grabber and dumped into the hopper where it is shredded down into smaller pieces.
From the shredder, the rubbish goes up this belt to a big drum called a trommel screen. This tumbles the rubbish to remove all the soil and dust which gets turned into a fuel called Refuse-Derived Fuel product -- or RDF for short. Nothing gets wasted here!Everything else continues on to here. This is called a ballistic separator and it walks everything upwards, but only the flat material makes it to the top. The three dimensional items can't manage the climb and fall back onto another line below.
The flat stuff now falls onto a belt which goes under the first optical sorter. This is a line of small cameras that can recognise the different types of rubbish. This one is set to 'see' soft plastic film and when it sees some approaching, it triggers a jet of air which hits the item as it crosses the end of the belt, blowing it on to another belt behind. It's very fast but watch closely and you'll see the plastic flying off. That's amazing!
This rubbish left on the belt drops down to another below. It then passes the second optical sorter, which is set to 'see' all paper and card products. It's very important that nothing else gets through so just to make doubly sure there are two people inspecting it.
Remember the 3D stuff that didn't make it to the top of the line earlier? Let's go and see what happened to it. Here it is, going past a very powerful magnet which attracts all ferrous metal -- that's metals like iron and steel which are magnetic. Everything else won't be attracted by the magnet so goes on to this eddy current machine which removes all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium -- things like drink cans. All the metals are collected in the skips below.
The non-metallic material left on the belt then goes twice past another optical sorter. The first time it puts all plastic on one side and the second time it puts all paper and card on the other. Anything left over will also go into the fuel product or RDF we mentioned before.
Under the machine are all these bays where the different materials end up. The contents are eventually baled and wrapped like this ready to be transported.
What an amazing machine!
So where does it all go? The metal will be sent to be melted down so it can be made into other metal products. Paper will be recycled into tissue such as toilet roll and hand towels. Plastics are recycled into new products; some obvious ones such as carrier bags and bin liners, but also fleeces, umbrellas, children's toys and even car bumpers. Card is generally shipped to China for recycling. This goes on ships that have delivered products from China into the UK, and need to return anyway, so it is reasonably environmentally friendly.

Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free.

By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. "It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea," says resident, Hatsue Katayama. "If you get used to it, it becomes normal."
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and WinBrewery.

Food waste is a major problem for any organisation that produces it. It's notoriously difficult to process and dispose of safely and efficiently and is the most likely waste stream to contaminate other waste fractions.
Most waste streams are relatively easy to recycle. Glass, plastic, aluminium and even metals can be recycled into useful by-products. But not so food waste.
By utilising IMC's WasteStation food waste processor, many of these problems are removed or reduced leading to large savings in many areas.
Food waste typically represents around 40% of total commercial catering waste. Of this 40%, approximately 77% is liquid.
WasteStation grinds the food waste into fine particles, these particles feed directly into the built-in dewatering system.
Through centrifugal action, the WasteStation forces out the excess liquid from the macerated waste.
This "grey water" is fed directly to drain, the resulting solid fraction of the food waste is collected in small, easily managed, lidded bins, ready for onward processing.

How waste recycling helps our planet - Zero to Landfill

Find out more about commercial waste recycling in Devon at http://www.dcw.co.uk
Twitter - http://twitter.com/dcw_uk
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Devon-Contract-Waste
TRANSCRIPT
Up until now businesses have had to sort all their rubbish for recycling but many didn't have the time, which is why much of it ended up in landfill. However, help is now at hand!
In Exeter, there is a place called Envirohub, which is the base for Devon ContractWaste. This company has started a 'Zero to Landfill' campaign because they would like to see everything recycled so landfill wouldn't be needed anymore. To help with this, they have spent over four million pounds on a fantastic new waste sorting machine which means businesses won't have to sort their rubbish anymore.
This machine is huge: it's over ten metres high, covers the same area as one football pitches and it can sort up to 300 tonnes of rubbish per day -- that's the same weight as thirty seven and a half full size elephants.
So how does it work? Let's go and see it in action!
Rubbish arrives at Envirohub from all around the county in dustcarts, front-loaders and wheelie bins, where it is all emptied out on the floor. Then it is lifted by this mechanical grabber and dumped into the hopper where it is shredded down into smaller pieces.
From the shredder, the rubbish goes up this belt to a big drum called a trommel screen. This tumbles the rubbish to remove all the soil and dust which gets turned into a fuel called Refuse-Derived Fuel product -- or RDF for short. Nothing gets wasted here!Everything else continues on to here. This is called a ballistic separator and it walks everything upwards, but only the flat material makes it to the top. The three dimensional items can't manage the climb and fall back onto another line below.
The flat stuff now falls onto a belt which goes under the first optical sorter. This is a line of small cameras that can recognise the different types of rubbish. This one is set to 'see' soft plastic film and when it sees some approaching, it triggers a jet of air which hits the item as it crosses the end of the belt, blowing it on to another belt behind. It's very fast but watch closely and you'll see the plastic flying off. That's amazing!
This rubbish left on the belt drops down to another below. It then passes the second optical sorter, which is set to 'see' all paper and card products. It's very important that nothing else gets through so just to make doubly sure there are two people inspecting it.
Remember the 3D stuff that didn't make it to the top of the line earlier? Let's go and see what happened to it. Here it is, going past a very powerful magnet which attracts all ferrous metal -- that's metals like iron and steel which are magnetic. Everything else won't be attracted by the magnet so goes on to this eddy current machine which removes all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium -- things like drink cans. All the metals are collected in the skips below.
The non-metallic material left on the belt then goes twice past another optical sorter. The first time it puts all plastic on one side and the second time it puts all paper and card on the other. Anything left over will also go into the fuel product or RDF we mentioned before.
Under the machine are all these bays where the different materials end up. The contents are eventually baled and wrapped like this ready to be transported.
What an amazing machine!
So where does it all go? The metal will be sent to be melted down so it can be made into other metal products. Paper will be recycled into tissue such as toilet roll and hand towels. Plastics are recycled into new products; some obvious ones such as carrier bags and bin liners, but also fleeces, umbrellas, children's toys and even car bumpers. Card is generally shipped to China for recycling. This goes on ships that have delivered products from China into the UK, and need to return anyway, so it is reasonably environmentally friendly.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. "It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea," says resident, Hatsue Katayama. "If you get used to it, it becomes normal."
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and WinBrewery. The brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

The next generation in food waste recycling - WasteStation from IMC

Food waste is a major problem for any organisation that produces it. It's notoriously difficult to process and dispose of safely and efficiently and is the most likely waste stream to contaminate other waste fractions.
Most waste streams are relatively easy to recycle. Glass, plastic, aluminium and even metals can be recycled into useful by-products. But not so food waste.
By utilising IMC's WasteStation food waste processor, many of these problems are removed or reduced leading to large savings in many areas.
Food waste typically represents around 40% of total commercial catering waste. Of this 40%, approximately 77% is liquid.
WasteStation grinds the food waste into fine particles, these particles feed directly into the built-in dewatering system.
Through centrifugal action, the WasteStation forces out the excess liquid from the macerated waste.
This "grey water" is fed directly to drain, the resulting solid fraction of the food waste is collected in small, easily managed, lidded bins, ready for onward processing.

How waste recycling helps our planet - Zero to Landfill

Find out more about commercial waste recycling in Devon at http://www.dcw.co.uk
Twitter - http://twitter.com/dcw_uk
Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Devon-Contract-Waste
TRANSCRIPT
Up until now businesses have had to sort all their rubbish for recycling but many didn't have the time, which is why much of it ended up in landfill. However, help is now at hand!
In Exeter, there is a place called Envirohub, which is the base for Devon ContractWaste. This company has started a 'Zero to Landfill' campaign because they would like to see everything recycled so landfill wouldn't be needed anymore. To help with this, they have spent over four million pounds on a fantastic new waste sorting machine which means businesses won't have to sort their rubbish anymore.
This machine is huge: it's over ten metres high, covers the same area as one football pitches and it can sort up to 300 tonnes of rubbish per day -- that's the same weight as thirty seven and a half full size elephants.
So how does it work? Let's go and see it in action!
Rubbish arrives at Envirohub from all around the county in dustcarts, front-loaders and wheelie bins, where it is all emptied out on the floor. Then it is lifted by this mechanical grabber and dumped into the hopper where it is shredded down into smaller pieces.
From the shredder, the rubbish goes up this belt to a big drum called a trommel screen. This tumbles the rubbish to remove all the soil and dust which gets turned into a fuel called Refuse-Derived Fuel product -- or RDF for short. Nothing gets wasted here!Everything else continues on to here. This is called a ballistic separator and it walks everything upwards, but only the flat material makes it to the top. The three dimensional items can't manage the climb and fall back onto another line below.
The flat stuff now falls onto a belt which goes under the first optical sorter. This is a line of small cameras that can recognise the different types of rubbish. This one is set to 'see' soft plastic film and when it sees some approaching, it triggers a jet of air which hits the item as it crosses the end of the belt, blowing it on to another belt behind. It's very fast but watch closely and you'll see the plastic flying off. That's amazing!
This rubbish left on the belt drops down to another below. It then passes the second optical sorter, which is set to 'see' all paper and card products. It's very important that nothing else gets through so just to make doubly sure there are two people inspecting it.
Remember the 3D stuff that didn't make it to the top of the line earlier? Let's go and see what happened to it. Here it is, going past a very powerful magnet which attracts all ferrous metal -- that's metals like iron and steel which are magnetic. Everything else won't be attracted by the magnet so goes on to this eddy current machine which removes all non-ferrous metals such as aluminium -- things like drink cans. All the metals are collected in the skips below.
The non-metallic material left on the belt then goes twice past another optical sorter. The first time it puts all plastic on one side and the second time it puts all paper and card on the other. Anything left over will also go into the fuel product or RDF we mentioned before.
Under the machine are all these bays where the different materials end up. The contents are eventually baled and wrapped like this ready to be transported.
What an amazing machine!
So where does it all go? The metal will be sent to be melted down so it can be made into other metal products. Paper will be recycled into tissue such as toilet roll and hand towels. Plastics are recycled into new products; some obvious ones such as carrier bags and bin liners, but also fleeces, umbrellas, children's toys and even car bumpers. Card is generally shipped to China for recycling. This goes on ships that have delivered products from China into the UK, and need to return anyway, so it is reasonably environmentally friendly.

In 2003, the local government in Kamikatsu, Japan decided to require that all residents comply with a new, rigorous recycling program - perhaps the most rigorous in the world.
Since then, the town composts, recycles, or reuses 80% of its garbage. It may not technically be 100% zero waste, as the remaining 20% goes into the landfill, but it's a remarkable achievement for an entire community, in such a short amount of time. The impacts have been positive - cutting costs for the community drastically, as well as improving the conditions of the lush and beautiful environment that surrounds the town in Southeast Japan.
Residents must wash and sort virtually anything that is non-compostable in their household before bringing it to the recycling sorting center. Shampoo bottles, caps, cans, razors, styrofoam meat trays, water bottles...the list goes on and on (literally) into 34 categories. At the sorting center, labels on each bin indicate the recycling process for that specific item - how it will be recycled, what it will become, and how much that process can cost (or even earn). It's an education process for the consumer.
All kitchen scraps must be composted at home, as the town has no garbage trucks or collectors.
And as for other items, reuse is heavily encouraged. According to Akira Sakano, DeputyChief Officer at ZeroWasteAcademy in Kamikatsu, the town has a kuru-kuru shop where residents can bring in used items and take things home for free. There is also a kuru-kuru factory, where local women make bags and clothes out of discarded items.
At first, it was difficult to be come accustomed to the new rules. "It can be a pain, and at first we were opposed to the idea," says resident, Hatsue Katayama. "If you get used to it, it becomes normal."
Now, it's even being noticed within Kamikatsu's businesses. The first zero-waste brewery has opened in Kamikatsu, called Rise and WinBrewery. The brewery itself is constructed of reused materials and environmentally friendly finishes. By 2020, Kamikatsu hopes to be 100% zero waste, with no use of landfills, and to forge connections with other like-minded communities in the world, spreading the practice of zero-waste.

Solid Waste Management

Waste management is the "generation, prevention, characterization, monitoring, treatment, handling, reuse and residual disposition of solid wastes". There are various types of solid waste including municipal (residential, institutional, commercial), agricultural, and special (health care, household hazardous wastes, sewage sludge). The term usually relates to materials produced by human activity, and the process is generally undertaken to reduce their effect on health, the environment or aesthetics.
There is a wide array of issues relating to waste management and those areas include:
Generation of waste,
Waste minimization,
Recycling and reuse,
Storage, collection, transport, and transfer,
Treatment,
Landfill disposal,
Environmental considerations,
Financial and marketing aspects,
Policy and regulations,
Education and training,
Planning and implementation,
